FROM THE PASTOR
THE YOUTH GROUP
On September 13, the St. Stephen’s Youth Group will
resume. It meets twice a month during the academic year,
generally on second and fourth Friday, in the evening. Its
primary purpose is the continuing Catholic education of
high school students in our parish. The secondary purpose
of the group is to help the youth form and keep good
Catholic friendships amongst one another. The group
assists at the evening Mass, afterwards moving to one of
the classrooms for a short meal and social time. Then one
of the priests gives a talk, somewhere between thirty and
sixty minutes. Finally, the members enjoy a common
activity, usually lasting about an hour.
6:30 PM Mass
7:30 PM Dinner
8:00 PM Conference by a Priest
9:00 PM Activity
10:00 PM Departure
Examples of the conferences given in the past include:
- The Four Temperaments
- Introduction to the Spiritual Life
- The Three Ages of the Spiritual Life
- The Gifts of the Holy Ghost
- Papal Encyclicals: Mystici Corporis, Mediator Dei
Several times during the course of the year, the members
go off campus (usually on a Saturday). Last year, we took
a trip roler skating in the winter, and bowling in the late
spring.
The Youth Group is available to St. Stephen’s
parishioners from the age of fourteen to eighteen. Non-
parishioners are welcome at the discretion of the priests.
Thirteen year olds can begin to attend at the start of the
academic semester in which their birthday falls (i.e. a
thirteen year old whose birthday is in March could begin
to attend in January).
For more details, contact Liz Hernandez: 916-396-4062.
SUMMER DRESS CODE
Please recall that everyone is expected to dress with
modesty and in a way befitting the house of God. Our
choice of clothing is an expression of our worship; it may
also affect the ability of others to worship. Dress should
conceal rather than reveal. There is a sign in the vestibule
that gives more details regarding proper dress. It is further
expected that modesty in dress be maintained on the
church grounds at all times. We do request that the
correction of visitors in this matter be left to the priests.
